Deutsche Börse (ISIN DE0005810055) was trading at EUR 305.30 at Lang & Schwarz on October 21, 2026 at 9:19 a.m. CEST, 1.17 percent below the Xetra close of October 20, 2026 at EUR 308.90. The exchange operator raised its 2026 total net revenue guidance after third-quarter net profit increased 18.00 percent to EUR 559.00 million, according to Deutsche Börse on October 20, 2026.

Guidance moves above EUR 6.5 billion

Deutsche Börse now expects total net revenue above EUR 6.5 billion for fiscal year 2026, up from its previous threshold above EUR 6.4 billion. The company also lifted its total EBITDA outlook to around EUR 3.9 billion from above EUR 3.8 billion, while keeping its revenue target excluding the treasury result at around EUR 5.7 billion.

In the third quarter of 2026, net revenue excluding the treasury result rose 14.00 percent to EUR 1,415.00 million. Including the treasury result, revenue reached EUR 1,633.00 million, up 13.00 percent from EUR 1,440.00 million in the third quarter of 2025, while EBITDA increased 16.00 percent to EUR 978.00 million.

What does 18.00 percent profit growth change?

The result gives the guidance increase an operating base rather than a purely market-driven explanation. Six of Deutsche Börse's eight businesses posted double-digit growth in the third quarter of 2026, and the treasury result rose 7.00 percent year over year to EUR 218.00 million.

Costs remain a counterweight. Operating costs increased 7.00 percent to EUR 646.00 million in the third quarter of 2026, partly because of higher share-based compensation and expenses linked to the planned Allfunds transaction; excluding those effects, cost growth was around 3.00 percent, according to Reuters.

Dates for the next update

The analyst and investor conference for the third quarter was scheduled for October 21, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CEST. The next listed investor event is the UBS European Conference on November 11, 2026, according to Deutsche Börse.

Stock stays below the latest close

The immediate market signal is cautious: the Lang & Schwarz price was EUR 305.30 after the Xetra session had closed at EUR 308.90 on October 20, 2026. Deutsche Börse's market capitalization was EUR 55.1 billion as of October 21, 2026, while its 52-week range was EUR 200.10 to EUR 312.20.
